Not to be a , but why on earth would you want 1000 hp engine for a street car? I know it would be cool to say that, but you've got to be looking at $30K+ for anything that is going to be the least bit reliable. You should build a nice stroked 440 and get 500-600 hp for half that price.

I would like to have a car that I could use as a daily driver (not that I would of course )

1000 hp, cheap and daily driver do not go in the same sentence. There's a reason why the only 1000 hp production car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron, goes for $1,000,000. Obviously, you can do it for a lot less than that, but to have the engine, trans and chassis that will handle that kind of power AND be streetable is going to cost you somewhere north of $50,000. And that's with you doing a lot of the work. I doubt it'll be less than $100,000, to be honest.

Think about it - 650 hp big inch crate Hemis go for $35,000. To get to 1000 hp, you'll have to take the engine apart and do more machine work. Then you'll have to put on NOS/turbo/supercharger. To make that streetable, you'll need fuel injection, probably multi-point. Then you have to have a transmission, driveshaft and rear end that don't explode the first time you dump that power through them. And you have to build a chassis that won't immediately try to bend in the middle, swap ends or go up in tire smoke. None of that is cheap.
